Domain Name System (DNS)

The Domain Name feature enables configuring the usage of site names in
place of IP addresses. It contains the following topics:
• DNS Settings
• Host Name Mapping
DNS Settings
The Domain Name System (DNS) converts user-defined domain names into
IP addresses. Each time a domain name is assigned, the DNS service
translates the name into a numeric IP address, for example,
www.ipexample.com is translated into 192.87.56.2. DNS servers maintain
domain name databases and their corresponding IP addresses.
To add a DNS server and specify the active DNS server:
1 Click Switch Management > DNS Settings (DNS) > DNS Settings.
The list of previously-defined DNS servers is displayed.
2 Click Edit, Settings Icon ( ) to set the global DNS properties.
3 Enter the following fields:
– Default Domain Name—Enter the default domain name.
– DNS Status—Select Enable to enable mapping of host names into IP
addresses through a DNS server.
– Domain Name Query Interval(sec)— Enter how often DNS queries
will be sent or check Use Default (8 sec).
4 Click OK.
5 To activate one of the currently-defined DNS servers, enable Active Server.
